Review-a-day #2 - Mesmo Delivery

Thursday, February 24, 2011 by Travis

Rafael Grampa is awesome! There's not really much else to say. He's an absolutely amazing artist, and I've been wanting more ever since I first saw his wolverine story in Strange Tales II #1. Mesmo delivery is a double-length, fight club-ice road truckers hybrid romp with a whole lot of crazy sprinkled on top. It was published by Ad House books and is about 56 pages - which includes some character design and sketches by Mr. Grampa himself.


Writing:

To be perfectly honest, he could write about anything, and if he's drawing it will be awesome. The story here is VERY simple...basically 2 delivery truck drivers are delivering a delivery...and then some crazy fighting/knifing/awesomeness goes down...and that's it. Hooked? But seriously, the writing gets the job done, which is to lay down an easy-to-understand story which is allows the gorgeous art to unfold.

Art:

It's probably just best to let the art do the talking. It's awesome, and unlike anything else I've seen.




Overall:

This is just an awesome book from one of the best new artists around. As long as you don't have a problem with violence (or awesomeness) then you should definitely pick this up!

8/10

Go get this from instocktrades...seriously it's only $5.79, how can you afford not to??
